> GET GLOBAL

The GET Global service has been designed to support mature SMEs.

What do we mean by “mature SMEs”?

A mature SME is one which has already had some success in their initial markets, has a proven business model, a solution ready to be exported, and the necessary resources (human and financial) to
access international markets.

Over 2014 and 2015 the GET project consortium has been working with SMEs to benefit from this service by providing matchmaking and speaker opportunities with potential international clients,
information relating to key opportunities and market knowledge. From our work we have developed a body of resources which sits in the repository which you can access to support your eHealth
business.

In the repository you will find useful links and tools, top tips and market knowledge. This information has been updated regularly.

INTERNATIONAL eHealth BUISNESS GROWTH

We want to support you and your business to achieve real success internationally.

We have over the past decade developed strong networks to help you access various markets including those across Europe, in China and across the USA.

One of the ways we can enable you to gain international agreements is to help you understand more about the different markets and systems across Europe in
China and the USA

To learn more about the markets in France and China- please click here Market reports France and China

To learn about the different health
and care systems please select the country of interest below

Along with understanding the markets and systems internationally we want to present SMES with a clear understanding of what the
Commercial opportunities are. The following two documents present these for you:

The GET Global service will put SMEs in contact with foreign commercialisation partners, potential customers and stakeholders by providing opportunities for matchmaking, networking and showcasing
at events.

The service will also provide support to SMEs to facilitate their development and growth through, for example, knowledge transfer on international markets (challenges, opportunities), clearer
insights into what purchasers are looking for (specific market needs), and feedback on their plans for internationalisation from an expert panel of investors, industry leaders and purchasers.

During 2 years 400+ eHealth SMEs have received support on private funding, internationalization,business
modelling and identification of new opportunities

The European GET project, funded by the European Commission has supported over 400 SMEs and startups by delivering four high value services. Throughout the 24 months the project has trained,
guided and coached Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to develop a successful business model, access private funding and/or set up an international business. Also, in cooperation with end-users
and health providers, the project has supported the identification of unmet needs that can become business opportunities.

“eHealth SMEs need ongoing and in-depth support to succeed”

According to project leader Jorge Gonzalez, “eHealth is a relatively young field with numerous business challenges for entrepreneurs and start-ups, including
business modelling, internationalization and access to private funding. The GET project has delivered coaching, resources and other types of support to help eHealth SMEs succeed in the European
markets and abroad."

Sarah Lopez, founder of the C2C Oncology project and one of the start-up participants declared “Without the support of the GET project I will have never
believed in my idea or found the strength to present it at a contest being alone. The advice I was given was very helpful.”

The CEO of OvulaRing/VivensoMedical, another start-up participant, added: “The pitch rehearsal from Get Funded was quite impressive and useful straight to the
point. The critical reflections and the recommendations given by Pascal Lardier improved the presentation quite well and gave us the possibility to focus the content for the presentation in
adoption towards the audience.”

Valuable guides and reports for digital health startups

Over the last 24 months, the project has generated a rich repository of online resources including many useful guides, interviews and reports. Among the most
interesting results are the list of 250+ global digital health investors, guides to successful business modelling and the many ‘’lessons learnt” for SMEs looking for funding or to access new
international markets. The repository is free to access and can be found on the GET project website. It will remain available even after the project at www.get-ehealth.eu.
